Double Page Spread.

My inspiration when creating my main image on the double page spread, was from the band, 'The Like', as I was researching their pictures as a band, and came across an image of all four band members, singer closest to the camera, guitarist and keyboardist side by side level higher than the singer, then drummer standing at the back. As black and white stripes are quite bold and have a slight 60's feel, I decided I wanted a black and white background behind the band, to create contrast to their faded coloured 60's outfits. This was very time consuming, as I had to outline really carefully on photo shop around the models, and input the black and white striped design, to be fitted behind them. When choosing my font, I really wanted a gothic font in a 60's colour as I wanted it to match my theme, so after downloading 60's font I came across, 'spicy retro' which I used on the speech, "HAVING A GANG DEFINITELY MAKES THE HARD TIMES EASIER". Originally I had the speech slightly overlapping the black and white stripes, but after the meeting with the print professionals, they suggested that I keep the speech on the white background, so that it stands out more, so after taking their advice and changed the font colour. After looking back at researched magazines, I found that most of them had two small separate paragraphs of font at the bottom of the page, with a 'Drop cap'. My beginning word is, 'C an' I used the same colour font for the large speech on the 'C' so that it looked colour coordinated.
